We are talking about the US Gov't. Does it really surprise you?:roll::roll::roll:

Ok, as I stated yesterday, I went to Tractor Supply and got 4 of the Horse Stall 4' x 6' rubber mats. I was able to install 2 of them from front to back without modifying. After careful measuring and snapping a chalk line I was able to cut the access material from the mat to make it fit. Now...

Don't you think it's a bit overkill? The ones I am using in the box are 3/4" thick! In the cab I was going with 1/8" thick truck bed mat or shower floor vinyl. This way I can go over the hump with it. Does anyone have any other suggestions for materials to cover over the insulation?

Thank you for the compliment! Actually she is an ugly duckling right now! I have been busy doing all the mechanical updates and mods first. She will have to wait to get a facelift. I decided to put Horse Stall Matts in the back. The paint I used on the floor was over-tinted and never...

Gee I thought someone would comment about the tilt brackets I fabricated for the lights. They would be useful for top or bottom mounting! This way you can adjust the angle of the light and not blind the driver in front of you......:neutral:

When I lived in NJ we mounted the fog lights low for fog. We were not concerned about snow damage. In NJ we usually didn't venture out on the road until the plow had cleared the roads. As far as the truck is concerned, i plan to use it mostly on the road. Therefor I want the best...

When I was growing up and cars had real bumpers they used to have fog lights mounted below the bumper. Also in the case of my truck the headlights are already mounted lower than the newer Deuces. If I mounted the fog lights on top of the bumper they would be almost on the same level as the...

Felt energetic today so I decided to tackle the fog lights installation. I fabricated some tilt brackets from 1-1/4" x 1/8" flat stock. I bent it up into u-shaped brackets. One is slightly smaller than the other to allow one to fit inside the other. These brackets will become the tilt...

Well i came up with a design for a Deuce fuel tank locking mechanism that is easy to fabricate and install. It is also safe since there is no work required to the fuel tank itself. I used some scrap 1/8" flat bar (aluminum) to make both pieces for the locking mechanism. One straight piece...

I guess I must have gotten a great deal on mine then. I won the bid at $1420. I bid sight unseen as a consolation to missing the item I really wanted to bid on. It was still at $1000 30 minutes before auction closed -so I couldn't resist bidding on it. I could have had it for less than $1100...

Me too! i like them every time I sit in them! Very comfy. :grd:

I layered the plywood. You need a total of 1" thick to replace the wood planks. I did not use any sheet-metal under the plywood. I do not want the same rotting out to occur to the beams from sitting water between the plywood and sheet-metal. I laid vinyl sticky window weatherstripping on top...

PB don't sell yourself short. You have the god given talent for rallying the troops and making things happen. Someone has to take charge and coordinate the work as well as gathering the talent necessary to get the work done. You are blessed with good friends that help you achieve your goals...

I went to Tractor Supply Sunday to get some iron to fabricate a new bumper step for the Deuce. Ended up purchasing a 10' x 10' Shelter Logic shed to store my tractor mower and some other equipment. I also got some 4' x 6' x 3/4" thick rubber mats for the floor. I never knew they had that...

Some added info. So far I have not added any circuits to the 24 volt fuse panel. I have 3 lines running to the cigarette lighters outlets under the dash. The 2 fans on the dash are being fed off those 12 volt outlets. 12 volt fans are half the cost of 24 volt units and do the same job...

You got everything correct. I used the fuse block next to the batteries to protect the fuse panels in the cab. There is no reason for a fuse for the equalizer. it has an overload breaker built in. Since I used an insulator through the floor to protect the cables from shorting I don't think i...

Here are the pictures I promised......

Any grownups in the house? Obviously not! rofl
